Subject: Re: Hi, I get the problem that du does report right size on nfs file system.

A more specific answer is that * doesn't catch the hidden
( .* ) files and directories.

If you want to know the sizes of the current directory, and also
get a summary of what's in each first-level directory, you
acn go:

du --max-depth=1 .

(the '.' isn't necessary, since that's the default, but I like
to know exactly what I'm asking for).
